    What name does Homer suggest that the kids could call Bart if he renamed himself after his dad?The Simpsons - "Marge Vs. The Monorail"

      "Ho-ju". This is after Bart remarks on how proud he is of his dad. This joke sounds to me like Conan O'Brien showing through. On his late-night show, he often makes funny names out of words like that.

      Tahiti. Apparently, Springfield's surprisingly well-connected airport offers non-stop flights to Tahiti. In other episodes, non-stop flights to Tokyo and Paris have been available.

      two comely lasses of virtue true.. Mayor Quimby responds by demanding "how many broads do I get?" Such a charter is not a surprise in a town that has had a snake-whacking day and at least one anti-Irish riot, as well as numerous outbreaks of mob violence for usually petty reasons.

      Solar power. "Solar power - when will people LEARN?!"

      Sebastian Cobb. When asked what can be done about Springfield's monorail, Cobb warns Marge "you just better have a damn good conductor!" The next frame shows Homer the conductor trying to jimmy the door open to retrieve his keys...

    When she arrives at the town, what does the billboard say just as she is driving into the town limits?The Simpsons - "Marge Vs. The Monorail"

      "Where the monorail is king!". If you watch the Simpsons regularly, you will see that every sign always has a funny slogan underneath. I think a few attractions the Simpson family have visited have said "now __% quainter." Also, the church sign is famous for having funny comments such as "No more than $50 kept on premises" etc.

    To which town does Marge drive in order to find out more about Lyle Lanley's success record with his previous monorails?The Simpsons - "Marge Vs. The Monorail"
